Diabetes Foot Care Guidelines

• Inspect feet daily: Check your feet and toes every day for cuts, bruises, sores, or changes to the toenails, such as thickening or discoloration.
  
• Wear thick, soft socks: Avoid socks with seams that may rub and cause blisters or other skin injuries.
  
• Exercise: Walking can keep weight down and improve circulation. Be sure to wear appropriate athletic shoes when exercising.
